In this video I teach the card trick that cannot be explained. This is a very powerful card trick that happens in the spectators hands. You make an impossible prediction which turns out to be correct, even though the spectator had total control over the cards. This trick is also known as Jeopardy and has been used to fool famous celebrities such as Jimmy Fallon. The best part of all is that this is a very easy card trick, which seemingly has no explanation!
This trick uses any deck of cards and does require a quick setup. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments below!
Stay magical,

Can't be explained...
Explains it
Ahahahah very true!
đ đ đ đ đ
so it worked. He tricked you
he showed how to perform it but i dont understand how it works
I was literally thinking the same thing bro đđ
And then the spectator tells you to do it again...
Do a different trick
I hate when people do that
Say once is a trick twice is a lesson
Clever.
Rule nr. 1 in magic: don't do the same trick twice for the same person.
For those of you having trouble, the setup can be any group of cards you wish to use; simply tailor the prediction to that group. Should be around half the deck or so. As long as the spectator gets that group and you get the rest, and you follow the procedure as given, then the setup stack will be face up at the end (assuming you turn over the spectators cards before shuffling them back into yours), The trick works because any cards that the spectator give to you (from the setup stack) get turned face up when they come over to "your side", and any cards of yours get turned face up when they go over to his side. If some of his cards on your side (which are face up) get handed back to him, they get turned over and become face down again. The shuffling and where the cards are located makes no difference. At the end, when the spectator's cards get turned over, you are facing up any of his remaining original cards (the stack), and turning face down any of your original cards. Thus all of his (the stack) will be face up at the end, and all of your original, indifferent cards will be face down. Try it with a small handful of red backed and red faced cards and a few blue backed black cards, using one color as the "stack" and the other as the indifferent cards and you'll see how it works.
Very usefull comment. Much underrated.
Thxs
Like given man
That's amazing! Thanks for the comment
So it is a little like the old 'wine and water' mixing puzzle (glass of wine, equal glass of water, take a spoonful of water and put it in the water, take a spoonful of the water-wine mixture and put it into the wine. Is there more water in the wine than wine in the water, or vice versa? Think about it. Hey, use playing cards to simulate it!).
Wow. That's absolutely brilliant!
Thanks!
@@oscar :D Hi!!!
I agree!
4:58 best card spin ever
hahha
lmao!!!
HHAHAHAHHAHAHSDHAJSDAS
Sean M Moran yeah, it didnât :p
C1 ur so cool for making fun of him. Idiots. Be thankful he taught you the trick and stfu
I revealed the ace of spades by putting the last piece of paper on my dogs collar, and called him in at the last moment for the trick!
Very smart!
Yo that's so sick
Very smart, I hope you don't mind if I use your idea, I really like it.
@@miguelguzman7133 That would be fine, glad you like it
dude... thats AWESOME!!!
The ace at 4:26 is not a club so ha
Edit: oh I just watched the next 1 second
I did the exact same thing! XD
I almost scrolled down to comment about it :P
Me : HAH ONE OF THESE ARE ACE OF SPADES HAHA.
Friend :You stupid child - _ -. Continues the video and sees the note that there is also ace of spades.
Me : Oh...
*Friends slaps my cheek so hard its swollen*
Exactly
Oops
great trick. I did it at a party. I was going to just fold the paper as in the video, but before I did the trick, one of my friends (Simon) left his phone on the kitchen while he visited the bathroom. I sent him a text message saying, 'except the Ace of Spades.' He didn't hear the beep as the message arrived. At the end of the trick, of course one of my other friends pointed out the Ace of Spades. In front of everyone I said to Simon, "I mentioned that you you earlier, didn't I?" Of course he said "No". I replied, "That's right, I couldn't find you, so texted you instead...can you just check your messages?" Of course, everyone was amazed when he read out the text!
Man, you're truly amazing. I love how you explain and make things clear to understand and easy to reproduce. 10/10 ;)
I like to write there will be 25 cards. Then write there will be 15 red cards. Then write all the cards leftover will be clubs. Then when the spade is pointed out, I tell them to look in their pocket or wherever I stuck a note on them earlier. Seems to work really well. I don't know why people freak out when you plant shit on them, but they do every time.
What methods do u use for the plant?
@@immortalx4532 I have no special skills in that art. It would be awesome if I could lift a wallet and put it back. I'm just an opportunist. If you look for it, people just give it to you. Loose pockets mostly. It's not something I do often.
@@SynS7ven oh. Thanks for replyđ
Plant shit on people đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđđ€Ł
Idk if itâll work but maybe when you shake their hand and do the guy thing where you pull them in and pay their back you can put a sticky note on then
I absolutely love this tutorial and trick. I keep watching it as often as I can because your presentation is beautiful!
And then, the magician does something wrong and the trick doesn't work. And then, the magician feels awkward as the spectators cringe.
the magician then tells the spectators to close there eyes for 20 min
The magician should never perform a trick he hasn't practiced for several hours over and over again. This holds true for even the simplest tricks you know, until you can perform them without thinking. Then you can focus on your patter and presentation without worrying about the trick.
Does the magician have a name?
@@jeffcolorado Ya also a good magician will have back door prepared in case the trick goes south for whatever reason
you could always write an extra prediction saying that you predicted it would go wrong
I thought this was going to be about Dai Vernons trick that can't be explained which is honestly one of my favorite tricks.
I learned this trick from this video about a year ago, and it has become my favorite card trick to perform. Thanks, Oscar!
Glad you did đ
I am not a magician, but I am a parent of an aspiring 11 year old. These videos help me blow his mind and keep the mystery alive. then, after he thinks about it. we break it down and he starts to practice... So thank you for making this video!
If you live with someone it's not hard to plant the last piece of paper in their jeans pocket or somewhere; you just have to have a good idea of what they might wear that day. I planted the "Except Ace Spades" paper in my GF's jeans in the morning, deep in the back pocket where I knew she'd not be digging into during the day. Did the trick that evening and she almost fell over.
Dude u should do guided meditation videos, as I fully relaxed and asleep 10 seconds in
8:41 Is writing on the back of a card, in a trick where cards are constantly being turned over, a good idea?
Considering the spectator shuffles at one point.. probably not
Note for all of the people who think they're being clever by whining about the name of the trick; I.e. "The Card Trick That Cannot Be Explained".
It's the *name* of the trick, get it? That's the point.
(If you're still having trouble, here's a clue: When a magician says "l'm now going to saw my assistant in half", he's not *really* going to do it. It's all part of the act/setup. I hope that helps clear things up for you.)
P.S. To the original poster of the video: Good job.
but it says cannot be explained but he explained it though
@@vicc6790 - no he didn't. why does everybody keep thinking he explained it. do YOU understand how after all the shuffling and card flipping the same set of cards is all face down? no you don't, do you.
I've love tricks like this one! There are very easy but spectators are rly supprised when You do it! ^.^ Thx for this guid!
This channel is becoming my one of my favorite channels. Love this trick!!
Thanks!
Bro I like your videos because your explanation is very clear and you make hard tricks easy to understand.
áŒ
Thank you kind sir for taking the time to teach this awesome trick! Greatly appreciated!
This is amazing! A few days ago, I did magic for a school talent show audition and I'm pretty sure I got through. I'm definitely gonna use this if I get through! Amazing trick đđđđ
Looking forward to seeing the trick, but it will be Thanksgiving day. Will be with Family. Will catch it later though! :)
Thanks so much mate. People like you are an inspiration and so generous. Giving something as brilliant as this, and not asking for anything back. Doesn't happen too often nowadays.
Well said
Mr. Owen states that you should fan the cards, looking for the setup stack, and then turn over the deck if necessary to orient the setup cards face down. In fact, if the procedure is followed as described, the setup stack will always be face up, necessitating a turnover of the deck. Another option would be for the performer to turn over his own packet instead, as this would orient the setup face down. Or make the prediction of how many cards are face up, instead. As a side note, it is unfortunate that this is labeled as "The Card Trick That Cannot Be Explained", as this name actually refers to a Dai Vernon routine, well known in the magic community, that is completely unrelated to this trick.
I write "except the ace of spades" on the bottom of ALL the blotter paper drink coasters. Then ask the person to turn over someone else's drink coaster! Wow factor complete!

i put a paper under my watch and if they are like than why is the ace spades im just like only time will tell and i dont show them the paper until like a minute later note i dont actually do this but i do have it under my watch
I performed this trick 6 times during a family get together for different groups. Every single time it worked. The relatives thought it was so good they didnât reveal anything after they were fooled. The just pointed and said go be amazedâŠthanks Bro!
Exceptional explanation, great voice tone, and you can have 4 set up packs of cards and 4 predictions and ask you guest to pick a suite and reach into that corresponding pocket and pull out the cards and prediction. Great Great Great. Keep up the good work.
OMG!!!! I LOVE THIS TRICK!!! Thank you sooo much for introducing me to this channel! I LOVE IT!!! I can't wait to see your next magic trick!!!
I have always loved magic, especially card tricks, I know quite alot of card tricks and love doing them. This one is brilliant, never seen it before and I cannot wait to try it out. Thanks
It is in 'The Royal Road'. If you know your cardwork you unnderstand what i mean.
@@gustavthemagician what is royal road??
Easy to explain!
Letâs take it from the back: you take one pile of cards and turn it over.
Think about this: if you didnât shuffle or shift cards at all, you now have the original 10 black cards facing the right way.
How can we then swap cards from pile to pile? Well, every time you change cards, you also turn them upside down.
So letâs say you give the spectator the ten clubs, the every time you receive his cards, they will be facing up in your pile. And your cards will be facing up in his pile. And when you get another pile of cards back again, your original cards will be swapped back to facing down in your pile and his will be facing up.
So back to the end: when you receive the spectators cards at the end and turn them upside down, all cards will (of corse) be facing the way you want them to face!
So if you want to do the trick just a little more smooth, then you know which pile the ace of spades is in from the beginning and then you make sure to turn the other pile upside down at the end. That way you donât have to make that awkward turn of the whole deck as in your trick.
But a nice trick!
ace of spades part: or just spread to show they're all mixed (actually looking for the Ace of spades)...then tell the spectator to flip up the reveal part where it shows there will be 25blk cards....**places deck down whichever way you need it...no need to follow anything just misdirect
Not the way the trick is done ....I know how this works I have the trick.
Sorry I have a variation on this trick .cards are mixed up in clear plastic box.

So u are houdinis grand father thanks for the explanation đ
Just....
Amazing...
Thx for the trick!!!
Cheers!
One thing I would change is to not put the "Except for the Ace of Spades" as a separate piece of paper. People said to me that that was a "spare" prediction in case it happened and didn't believe it was meant to happen...I changed it to be written when unfolding the paper again on the main piece and people didn't say anything then
Nicely done! Thank you! You are a great magician!

Hello new one
Qaaa
Graças đ belĂssimo canal super đč
SaudaçÔes đ§đ· Love đ
simply amazing....I've always been inspired by your tricks
In fact the secret is rather simple, and has nothing to do with numbers 10 or 15, or with spades versus hearts. I think the 15 red cards are used only to make the impression that the spectator's pile is random (and not, say of merely black cards). The reason the trick works is this: all the cards from the spectator's pile are turned upside down when on the magician's pile, and are back to normal when they come back to the original pile. The same can be said about the cards in the magician's pile. As a result of last turning all the cards that were originally in the spectator's pile are turned upside down, and those on the magician's pile are not.
This really can't be explained. A perfect and cleanest magic trick I've ever seen. Can't stop doing it.
yes it can be explained. its just turning cards.
I like this...thank you so much. By chance, is there someone...we can give credit for trick, its origin or maybe a book. I wonder how far back this goes, this is one of several things I like about magic...finding the first person who came up with it.
Dude this is beautiful, not the best color of video, but the song and voice over is just perfect. The trick is simple and easy, I really love your work.
Loved it and cheers for the explanation. As for the critics itâs explained in âPolishing up ones presentation/act/performance. Plus who hasnât messed up a trick but then been able to salvage it ??? Again nice presentation and explanation đđđ...D
LOVED YOUR VIDEO EDITING
I will definitely try it
You are the best.... Man
Thanks mate!
Pretty music, nice dynamic soundtrack. and I love the editing here. Very smooth. You have nice hands.

When i showing there are 10 clubs cards but i see there are 12 clubs card. Please explain me
thank you for sharing this trick, I'm very grateful!
You are awesome man thank you for this amazing card trick!!!
The intro was great :)
how many cards are in the deck during the trick? it appears that you are not working with a full deck..
absolutely brilliant. Thanks a million!!!
I love your creative tricks. Keep up the nice work
Interesting trick
Seems fun
I just blew my mind doing the trick to myself. Good on ya!
Simon Aronson was an american lawyer known as well for his Aronson Deck order. Lennart Green (swedish magician) made a nice version of this trick.
Your card tricks are very awesome very great magic trick
thank you for sharing this! i think i saw this trick on penn and teller fool us once đ
Great trick - works every time. Leaves lots of possibilities for great endings.
I have been looking for this trick. Thank you!

Awesome presentation! Shin Lin quality. Thanks for the great work. I just subscribed
Oscar pls send such more tricks I want to learn
This is one of the greatest tricks. Thanks for sharing the video.
That moment when you explain the card trick that cannot be explained...
impressive
When I was a kid, my grandmother showed me this trick. Since it's on youtube, it gives the appearance that it's a new trick, but it isn't. When I was shown this trick the first time, it had a story that went with it. Now I need to see if I can still do this trick again. It's been several years since I've done this. Like the narrator said, the trick is self-working, meaning the cards take care of themselves as long as you and the other person does exactly as it's taught.
Put the speed 1:25 it's so much betterđI cant handle the slowness
Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you, brother.
Super, super, super!!! Only the genius can invent such a trick!
Thank you for your instruction!
it is fake
The trick is older than you think.
@@a_gamer8958 Which means you either you didn't try it or you screwed up the trick. I've seen this done when I was a kid.
This trick is more than 20 years old.
thank you so much for your revealing, i really want to learn magic!
Awesome card trick my friend, love card tricks that self works. Now with this one, I now know 3 that are mystifying yet self working. đđđ
Btw your commentary surely adds to it. đ
Amazing
Thanks!
I am die hard fan of your voiceâ€â€
Man, you are f**king genious... I learned lot of tricks thanks to you
No worries!
It's not genious to reveal other people's work
it is fake i am 10 years old look at 419 he says all the cards are clubs but there is a ace of spades dum *ss
@@a_gamer8958 this comment is a joke right
@@a_gamer8958 You didn't see how it ended, dum*ss? The last slip of paper says, "Except for the ace of spades."
Great Tutorial. I imagine the Magic Circle are out to get you!!!!
brillaint work man
3:47 if you look closely you can see a black card that he doesnât put down on the table in the deck!!
Nope, look again pal.
It worked the first time I tried it.
Thank you I love this trick!
I also have my own version of this trick:
I pick 25 random cards and write them down on the prediction paper.
It's very cool too!
Whyâs he talking all mysterious and serious.
because why not
lol
Lmao yeh like they do about a family if serial killers or something
danny McCloskey because heâs A SpOOky mAGiciAn
I saw this trick they put all the cards in box and shook them and it still worked.
Hey man, Just discovered your channel but I wanted to add a little note. The title is kinda misleading. There is an actual effect called "The Trick That Cannot Be Explained" by DaiVernon and this is not it. I have seen this effect by a different name that escapes my mind at the moment but defiantly not the same trick in the title.
The original name of the trick is "shuffleboard'', and "jeopardy" with the prediction part
Great trick... thanks for sharing! ;-)
Looked complicated till I followed along with a deck of cards. Great trick.
Anything and everything can always be explained by the comment section of every you tube video ever
Yep, without the bullshit music on this video, it's ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,unscripted dog shit.

awesome trick and awesome explanation.... love this channel
Excellent performance and tutorial. Thanks.
I keep on getting 16 black cards ?? And they are mixed ?
if you do the preparation well then you should be doing something wrong when you shuffle or ask the spectator to shuffle! You have to turn half of your deck around before shuffling with the spectators cards. And be aware that you have to count the cards when the ace of spades is turned upside down, as mentioned in the video! Hope I explained it, if not, message me again if you didnt get it!
@Diogo Miranda
Do you have to give exactly half of your deck?
@@audreykoek5035 no, it works with as much as you'd like
